Testimonials
Our program places interns in dynamic work environments in foreign and domestic companies in Beijing. Our experience teaches us that an internship depends on having real responsibilities and reporting to a manager who takes a vested interest in your time at the company. We aim to provide you with the best possible professional situation during your time in Beijing.
Here are a few testimonials from past NorCap Interns:
“Living in China was an adventure to say the least, an adventure that came with many challenges. These challenges only helped me graduate from a naive college student to an open-minded, daring, street-smart young adult. I changed for the better and I had the most unforgettable memories with the kindest souls. I am in the process of interviewing for jobs right now and every employer cannot stop asking questions about my China experience. They are incredibly impressed that I took advantage of this once in a lifetime internship opportunity. I would recommend this experience and the NorCap China Internship program in a heartbeat.”

“NorCap enabled me to be truly independent – immersed in my internship and surrounded by Chinese language and culture – while making me feel like I had a close-knit family right around the corner in case I ever had bad days, felt homesick or needed support. It was amazing to be in a city I was not familiar with and still feel at home while successfully accomplishing personal goals in terms of language skills, networking opportunities, and learning about my internship industry. Through NorCap, I was able to achieve well beyond what I thought I could achieve in one summer without feeling completely overwhelmed. I am so grateful for this opportunity!”
Anna Lorentz, Princeton University ’13
“My hospitality internship not only familiarized me with the structure and operation of a hotel, but also allowed me to listen and learn from a diverse group of professionals with different educational backgrounds, life experiences and career specialties. I developed a variety of skills like attention to detail, surpassing customer expectations, conflict resolution and communication. I feel that these skills are valuable as they can be applied to any industry in which I desire to engage in the future.”
Lizzie Pu, Smith College ’14
“An internship through NorCap is unique; there’s really no experience like it. You can expand your horizons, gain invaluable job skills, and go on vacation all at once.”
Luke Kanter, Johns Hopkins University ’14
“NorCap helped me find a unique once in a lifetime internship at one of the most prestigious universities in all of Asia and the world. I cannot thank them enough for the experience during my time in Beijing.”
Brian Kohen, Duke University ’12
“I’m having a great time and I think NorCap is doing a good job of providing experiences that are worthwhile. I understand that word is a broad way to describe something, but I think it is a fitting description of my experience here so far. The interns are all here to explore China and get as much as we can out of it, and I think NorCap does an excellent job at not only providing opportunities seemingly at every turn, but also simply being available. Very rarely do I trust and rely on a group as quickly and as readily as I have with NorCap. Keep up the good work.”
David Coit, University of Southern California ’13
“NorCap also creates unique and well thought-out events that gave us an incredible opportunity to learn from other people’s know-how in China. This is something that is rare, and should be highly valued for what it is. I hope you guys continue to hold these professional events, as this is where the NorCap program truly stands out – I wouldn’t change a thing.”
Sebastian Roervig, George Washington University ’14
“I’ve grown more professionally and personally than I ever could have in the US. After my first co-op work experience, I knew I wanted something different. I wanted a challenge. I wanted an entirely new language and global business experience. That’s why I chose China.”
Jaise John, Drexel University LeBow College of Business ’14
“My trip to the Great Wall gave me time to reflect on the significance of China within the context of the world and foreigner’s eyes, and remind me of the beautiful, historically rich aspects that create the foundation of today’s China. I am so glad and appreciative for my summer in Beijing, and I will not forget it. I am so thankful for all that Bailey has helped me with while living in here. Someday soon, I expect I will be back in Beijing and China.”
Jenny Imber, Hendrix College ’14
